WHAT AN EXPLODING CAR REALLY LOOKS LIKE

If you think cars only explode in the movies, check this out: Last Friday, someone in Los Angeles got cell phone footage of firefighters dealing with a burning car that was parked on the street. And while one of them was standing right next to it dousing it with water, something under the hood EXPLODED.
It was actually pretty intense . . . but the explosion was small enough that the badass firefighter just stepped away for a second, then turned his hose on again and kept working.
